I told him, 'Dad, you don't know what my coach is coachingme. I'll give you two options. One is that you can go to my coach'sacademy, and you can learn what he's teaching me, and then you can teachme.

Or, second, if you don't want to go, you can just be a dad, a happydad.'"

So true! I had seen many juniors who used to be "lesson" by parent while they are starting to learn the game. Later in the years they improve so well and beat their parent, thus the parent had to be "lesson" by their children instead.

I kept my mouth tight while sending my kids to golf , as a respect to the kids as well as to the coach.
